Loren,

I was looking for an original type thermostat gasket, not some universal fit deal, and stumbled across that.
That was my first thought - we had just talked talked about it. Once it's painted green, and the fuel filter
bracket is bolted on, it should be almost unnoticeable.

I highly recommend you bead-blast it before you paint it or the paint is not going to stick well.  I would also mask off the majority of the area that will be inside the hose--it will seal better and will keep the antifreeze from leaching through the paint and dis-coloring the paint on the housing outside the hose.
